Fireworks
Dear neighbours,
I would like to ask for your mindfulness during this new year's eve. Please, remember the people who have elderly family, small children, sick people and also the pets and rest of our animals, and don't blast your fireworks nearby houses or exactly next door. It is just awful to be inside your home and have children or sick people wake up to the sounds of the fireworks. Please, respect your neighbours. And if you really must blast fireworks do it away from houses.
Have all a safe and happy new year!
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
